The independent schools all belong to the Society of Christian Schools in B.C. […]

Do you have the right stuff? Then the Canadian Space Agency wants you. Some 376 applicants from B.C. — 241 of those from Metro Vancouver — are among 3,372 nationwide hoping to become Canada’s newest astronauts, as an Aug. 15 application deadline approaches. It’s not the usual federal-job posting on the government’s jobs.gc.ca website. Karl […]

The death of 84-year-old Emily Houston at the hands of another resident suffering from dementia in a Kamloops nursing home last July sparked a review into resident-on-resident aggression in B.C. care homes.

It hasn’t always worked out this way in the past, but Devin Carrey is so far making the most of his sponsorship exemption into the Freedom 55 Financial Open at Point Grey Golf and Country Club in Vancouver.

B.B. King died last year, though one of his greatest hits — The Thrill Is Gone — lives on, a theme song for fans of the B.C. Lions following a 7-12 season under one-and-done head coach Jeff Tedford.

At just 42, Glen Hansman is the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation’s youngest president in the last few decades. But he says he’s not intimidated by that, despite the daunting task of leading B.C.’s 41,000 teachers in what has traditionally been an acrimonious relationship with the provincial government.

He was president of the Vancouver Elementary School Teachers’ Association from January 2007 through July 2009.

As the federal review of Kinder Morgan’s $6.8-billion Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion nears its end, at least a dozen First Nations continue to say the review is flawed, and they oppose the project over its potential environmental effects.
